Project Brief : Pathway (Book Illustrations)

Produce illustrations based upon the short story;
The Cloak - Nikolai Gogol

In the story, the character is overlooked and works in the background as he is left alone.
Being influenced by this, I chose to produce my drawings this way - the charachter is never shown to the viewer and is often placed towards the edge of the page.

I opted for a monochromatic look to resemble his life - grim and lifeless. Pencil allowed me to achieve subtle textures and also portray the characters innocence and harmless approach.
Large areas of white space suggest the characters loneliness.
